"We are confident that the fair-minded Supreme Court will unanimously affirm the civil rights of President Trump, and the voting rights of all Americans."

"[T]he legal arguments against disqualification are ultimately unsound, and most are very weak."

"[M]y bet is that... even the liberal justices will lean toward allowing voters to decide whether Trump is fit to be president."

Barring Trump from public office "would be the mildest of punishments."

The Jan. 6 riot "is something that could disqualify him, under our rules, and under the constitution."

"The former president's efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, and the resulting attack on the US Capitol, place him squarely within the ambit of the disqualification clause."

"[A] plain and fair reading of Section 3... demonstrates that Trump is constitutionally disqualified from holding future public office."

"I think it's really actually very clearcut... [Section 3 is] in general language, and so it applies to anyone who incites an insurrection or rebellion."

Will Donald Trump Be Disqualified From Holding the Presidency?

Wall Street Journal

The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that tech billionaire Elon Musk, two days after endorsing Donald Trump, claimed he would donate $45 million per month to a pro-Trump Super Pac geared at helping Trump win the election.

Bloomberg

Bloomberg reports that Musk has already made a substantial donation to the America PAC. No one knows the exact figure of Musk's donation, but sources claim it was a substantial amount. The PAC must make the donor list public by July 15.

Guardian

Musk is one of the world's richest people, with an estimated net worth of $252 billion. If Musk follows through with his contribution to the Super PAC, it will most likely be the highest-known donation of the 2024 election season.

According to The New York Times, the America Pac has received support from some of Musk’s tech friends and allies, such as Joe Lonsdale, co-founder of Palantir with Peter Thiel, who is known for his significant political contributions to Trump’s VP nominee, Senator JD Vance.

Musk has stated that he voted for Barack Obama and, subsequently, Joe Biden in the 2020 election. However, he has now turned against the Democratic Party and repeatedly lambasted the White House on issues like immigration.

Musk's decision to donate money to the Trump Super PAC has sparked considerable criticism, given that he previously said that he would not contribute to any presidential campaigns. This means, however, that he might donate money to groups that support the candidates.

Elon Musk reportedly plans to give $45m a month to pro-Trump Super Pac

Earlier in the year, Musk declared that he would not donate money to either Trump or Biden’s campaigns. On March 6, Musk stated on X that he has no intention of making donations to any US Presidential candidate. Apparently, Tesla’s CEO has changed his mind, and only days after expressing his support for Donald Trump, he is said to be willing to pay a sizeable amount of money to a Pro Trump Super PAC. Musk cannot be trusted.
